NWS Forecaster Discussion
259 fxus63 kdvn 050756 afddvn Area forecast discussion National Weather Service quadrant cities Iowa Illinois 300 am CDT Sat Jul 5 2008 Synopsis... high pressure over the region today will shift off to the east allowing for increasing temperatures and moisture as the Holiday weekend comes to a close. Developing northwest flow aloft early next week will bring a more active pattern with several thunderstorm complexes affecting the region. However...ECMWF/GFS signals another cooler Canadian airmass to slide into the Midwest Wednesday and Thursday. && Short term...today and tonight... high pressure over the region this morning will gradually shift off to the east later today and tonight. Another sunny and pleasant day expected although temperatures will be a little bit higher than the past couple of days...but humidities will still be low. Tonight will be uneventful with southeast winds keeping temperatures somewhat warmer compared to recent mornings. 3-hour GFS MOS guidance numbers looked the most reasonable with little change to grids needed. .Haase.. Long term...Sunday through Friday... more Summer like weather to return to the region during the first half of period. Upper trough will be over the eastern U.S. By Sunday...allowing a flatter...more zonal flow to become established along the Canadian border. This opens the door for warm humid air to move out of the central and Southern Plains into the middle MS valley. By 12z Sunday the warm/humid air will be in place over the County warning forecast area and should remain in place at least through Tuesday. With this air mass over the area there will be a threat of thunderstorms at least through Tuesday night. Initial threat of thunderstorms will occur Sunday afternoon/evening as short wave interacts with surface boundary set up over the northern plains...spawning an mesoscale convective system. Storm Prediction Center has the northwest corner of the County warning forecast area in a slight risk of severe storms for Sunday evening. Will also have to watch for the possibility of locally heavy rains with precipitable waters over 2 inches expected to set up over the County Warning Area by Sunday evening. Also weak middle level flow/shear suggests slow moving storms. Surface boundary to sag south Monday and will keep low probability of precipitation going ahead of the boundary. Best chance for thunderstorms will be Monday night into Tuesday as a stronger short wave moves through the upper MS valley...driving a cold front through region by late Tuesday night. Longer range models have come into better agreement with surge of cooler air following this short wave. The European model (ecmwf) has trended toward the stronger GFS and is now showing a stronger high pressure moving into the region Wednesday and Wednesday night. With the models showing similar solutions now...have trended temperatures down for Wednesday. No changes made beyond Wednesday with low chance probability of precipitation still looking reasonable on the heels of the departing high pressure. ... && Aviation... VFR conditions to continue at least through 12z Sunday. Look for diurnal few-scattered cumulus at 4-5k feet with southeast winds sustained at less than 10 knots. Probably some high level debris clouds drifting into the region later tonight blown off of thunderstorm complexes in the eastern Dakotas. .Haase.. && Dvn watches/warnings/advisories... Iowa...none. Illinois...none. MO...none. && $$ Haase/dlf
